According to Huygen’s light propagates in the form of longitudinalmechanical waves. For the propagation of these mechanical waves, Huygen’s proposed theexistence of medium called ether which is present everywhere. The colour of the light dependsupon the wavelength of these waves. According to Huygen’s theory velocity of light is more inrarer medium. That is later verified by Focault’s experiment. This theory could explaininterference, diffraction and polarization. But the properties of polarization and photoelectriceffect, Compton effect could not be explained on the basis of this theory.

Huygens’s Principle:-
a) Every point on the primary wave front gives out secondary wavelets.
b) These secondary wavelets move in the forward direction with speed of light.
c) The position of the new wave front is obtained by drawing a tangent drawn to the edges of
these wavelets at any instant.

. Because of the rotation of the earth, a plumb bob may not hang exactly along the direction of
the earth’s gravitational pull (its weight) but deviates slightly from this direction. Calculate the
deviation (a) at 40 latitude, (b) at the poles, and (c) at the equator

The length of a massless rod is measured using vernier callipers having 10 vernier scale divisions and least count of 0.1 mm. Two masses 1.00 ± 0.01 kg and 4.00 ± 0.02 kg are attached to its ends. If reading of vernier scale is 5 divisions coinciding with 1.3 cm, what is the % error in locating centre of mass from lighter mass
